I don't know if there is much you can get that's super durable with that price range.

At that price you're pretty much looking for used skis, and depending on who's been riding them, its going to be hard to give a definitive answer.

Look on Backcountry.com. They have a pretty good warranty on their gear, as in, you can return it for any reason up to a year later. See if you can find a pair of last years skis in your price range.

Good skis are available online very cheap right now. Look around at Evo gear, Backcountry.com, Porters Tahoe, etc. Personally I'd recommend Line Chronics, they're $280 at Colorado ski shop, that's what I personally bought.

nobody cares. i hate kids who think they´re smart because they manage to find a misspelled word. the mistake is good to be pointed out only, if it´s something that may cause misunderstandings.
